For the radio system or the rest of the car? Either way BOTH can be repaired, mbz has some guidelines on what tools and techniques to use when repairing important wires.

The scanner will help solve your issue. Could be as simple as a software reboot or it would tell you of any hardware/connection issues.

Very odd that MB logo displays and no fault codes either with system (usually a bad MOST device) or possibly battery level. Are we talking original radio (cassette) or COMAND (large screen) replacement displaying MB logo? Link provides info on “proper” conversion http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...RxXA8VxLl_COBA for plug & play contact one of the members in this thread https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...mand-swap.html Attachment cover MOST network (optical).
